I love AMD cards, but they seem to be wrongly adamant in their opinion that their cards are worth as much as nvidia cards. Nor do they have the right to be asking so much from such small share of the graphics market.

No cuda, no dlss, no ray tracing.

Nvidia is also overpriced since COVID days. A graphics card should not cost as much as the entire rest of the computer.

Bring me back the top card for 600CAD and I could go for it. But for cards north of 1.2k, fuck that. I'd go AMD purely just because of their Linux support compared to Nvidia. But I'm holding onto my 2070 super with weak hopes prices will become sane again in the future.

Amd cards have Ray tracing, and their own fsr

I much prefer FSR as it's a more open system. DLSS only works on Nvidia because Nvidia wants it to only work on Nvidia. FSR might be a step behind tech wise but it's improving all the time.

I think it's easy to draw a comparison here with the G-Sync vs Freesync debate that has pretty much resulted in total victory for AMD. From my observations G-Sync clings to life in only the very highest end bleeding edge turbo gamer monitors.

More open and permissive standards hopefully win out in the end.
